Award-Winning Dealers Share Precision Revenue Growth Opportunities & More

Apr 25, 2024

A trio of representatives from Precision Farming Dealer’s Most Valuable Dealerships (MVD) shared their keys to success during the 2024 Precision Farming Dealer Summit in Indianapolis. Adam Gittins, president and general manager of 2024 MVD HTS Ag, Jason Leary, ag technology manager for 2019 MVD Crystal Valley, and Scott Staum, regional advanced cropping system specialist for 2018 MVD Central Valley, detailed the processes and practices that make their businesses successful during a panel discussion. Here are some highlights from the conversation.

What changes have you recently made to grow precision revenue?

Staum: For the past 3 years, we’ve had consistent growth across all of our platforms in precision ag. A lot of that is due to increase in market share. We’ve restructured our team a little bit more since 2018. I believe that increase in market share is due to a lot more confidence from the producers in our area and a little bit more buy-in from our internal team as well.

Video: USDA Feb Crop Report a WIN for Soybeans + 1 Year Trade Truce Extension

USDA took Trumps comments that China would buy more U.S. soybeans seriously and headline news that the U.S./China trade truce would be extended when Trump/Xi meet in the first week of April was a BIG WIN for soybeans this week! 2026 “Mini” U.S. ethanol boom thanks to 45Z + China’s ban of phosphates from Feb. – August of 2026 will not help lower fertilizer prices anytime soon! 30 mmt of Chinese corn harvest is of poor quality and maybe a technical breakout in wheat futures.
